Chapter two hundred and eighty fifth fake, all fake
"One hundred thousand?"
"Are you kidding me?" Before He Mai finished speaking, Tan Pingzhi laughed loudly: "It seems that this document can also scare people. No wonder those civil servants always brag about it in the battle reports."
"Why is that blowing?"
"Since entering Beifu, I have been diligent in affairs every day. I have read no less than a thousand battle reports. Those numbers are all written clearly. How can there be any lies?"
Liu Yu waved his hand: "Of course they are all fake!"
"Even those words describing our military strength are mostly untrustworthy."
impossible!
He Mai absolutely didn't believe it. He had devoted himself to studying various battle reports and battle conditions for a month, but there were not even a few truths.
"Secretary Wang, please tell me."
Wang Mi shrugged his shoulders: "You asked me to say that I said the same thing. They are all false."
"According to the current configuration of the Di-Qin army, out of ten thousand horses, there are only about eight or nine hundred cavalry."
"Just do the math. As Suanzi said just now, there are a total of 130,000 soldiers from Di Qin and Xianbei in the city. How many cavalry are there among them?"
"But, but, we have only brought 5,000 Beifu soldiers here, and there are already 500 cavalry among them!"
"This ratio of numbers far exceeds that of Qin soldiers!"
"But I heard that Qin soldiers have always attached great importance to the construction of cavalry. There are a lot of cavalry in one army!"
People never give up easily, so He Mai cited the number of his own cavalry to prove Di Qin's strength.
However, he seemed to have forgotten one question.
"He Mai, you can't compare like this."
Wang Mi felt that although He Mai seemed a little brainless on this issue, his cognitive misunderstandings were still very common.
At this critical moment of life and death, it was necessary for Wang Mi to let all the soldiers understand the truth. The Di Qin cavalry in Xiangyang City was indeed powerful, but they were not so powerful that they were invincible!
"Di Qin's cavalry were all stationed here early in the morning, and there won't be much change in the number. What's more, even if the Xianbei soldiers in the city are not of the same mind as Di Qin, the cavalry in the Xianbei regiment may still refuse to do so.
Listen to Fu Rui’s instructions.”
"And our cavalry are all temporarily transferred from the vicinity of Qiaoshan. In order to strengthen the offensive strength around Xiangyang, we originally selected elite soldiers and generals, especially the cavalry, and we specially selected a lot of them."
"There should not be a cavalry team of 500 people in the original team of 5,000 people."
"So, I think what Jinu said makes sense. As long as we handle it properly, it is very possible to repel Di Qin's first wave of attacks!"
"Don't forget, we have improved our equipment and our offensive capabilities have been greatly enhanced!"
"Spears, stirrups, these are treasures that the Di Qin cavalry does not have!"
Wang Mi's words reminded everyone that they have double stirrups! They also have spears! Their impact speed is faster! Their actions are more flexible!
"That being the case, let's not hesitate!"
"Send a slave, and give it to me!"
"My subordinate is here!"
On weekdays, brothers treat each other well, but when it comes time to go to the battlefield and deploy tasks, Liu Yu still understands etiquette.
Consciously respect Wang Mi.
The two brothers surrendered their hands and obeyed the order, and Wang Mi gave them detailed instructions: "You two each take two hundred cavalry and obey orders from the rear. Once the Xiangyang City Gate is opened, you will immediately charge forward and be sure to wipe out all the cavalry leaving the city!"
"
"Remember, we must take the initiative and not give the Qin soldiers a chance to explore the true strength of our army!"
Liu and Yu nodded in agreement. In fact, Liu Yu's thoughts were roughly the same.
As for the Beifu soldiers who are in a weak position, what they have to do now is to spread out their colorful screens like those peacocks, show off their strength, let them see how powerful I am, and don't dare to do it again.
And the real red butt must not be shown to others, so that Di Qin can find out the true situation of the Beifu soldiers. For this purpose, taking the initiative is the most reasonable tactic.
"I obey my orders."
Wang Mi nodded. He was relieved to have the two of them leading the troops, but he still had to tell him: "You two must remember to cover the stirrups with black cloth. You must not let Di Qin find out that we are equipped with double stirrups."
.”
"Especially if you rely on it, you can't just do everything according to your own temper. Once you get a good beating, you can't care about anything else."
Liu Yu can still rest assured, but Tan Ping, who is impulsive and irritable, is a problem. He is brave in battle and honest, these are Lao Tan's advantages.
But sometimes, advantages can turn into disadvantages. Once Lao Tan rushes to the battlefield, he will easily ignore it and fight hard.
Infected by him, the soldiers under his command were more than brave but lacking in wit.
Under Tan Pingzhi's hard work, the cavalry under his command were also equipped with double stirrups. If such a sharp weapon could be exposed in front of the Di Qin soldiers, it would definitely not appear in Liu Yu's team. It could only appear in Liu Yu's team.
It was leaked from Lao Tan.
Under the command of Wang Mi, the two teams of cavalry retied the slightly loose black cloth. Although this would greatly limit their flexibility in immediate combat, it could at least keep the secret of the double stirrups to a certain extent.
You know, once Di Qin discovers such a cold weapon, they can quickly imitate it.
And with their excellent riding and archery skills, once they master the use of double stirrups, they will be even more powerful, and the Beifu soldiers will be beaten to the ground by them!
As long as Wang Mi can insist on returning to Jiankang and put the development of black powder on the agenda, the Beifu soldiers will have nothing to fear!
…………
On Wang Mi's side, the Beifu soldiers are making final preparations. The cavalry's appearance means that tonight's final battle will officially begin.
On the other side, in Xiangyang City, Qin General Fu Rui was not idle either.
The first batch of cavalry is ready, they are just stationed. They are waiting for Fu Rui's order to rush out!
It is rare for General Fu Rui to wear the armor, because Xiangyang City has been peaceful for several years, and there has been no smoke. As a guard in the city, this carefully crafted two-tier armor has not been patronized by General Fu for a long time.
Already.
It has been kept in the treasury. Careful soldiers may find that General Fu's armor looks majestic and impressive at first glance. In fact, if you look closely, you can see that there are rust spots in some places.
, I don’t know how long it has been since I took care of it seriously.
The Di and Qin cavalry had long been unable to hold on any longer. The Di people were warlike by nature, a mouthwatering drinker of wine and a mouthful of meat, and a temperament for beating whenever they shouldered their guns.
Now, they were in the city, listening to the noisy sounds of fighting outside the city. The whole city was in panic, so how could they still be in the mood to sit there.
They had already asked for battle many times, but it was not until a few hours later that General Fu agreed to send them out of the city.
When the news came, the soldiers were as excited as fleas on a lazy man, one by one, and in high spirits.
The red string tied around their necks fluttered in the wind, and the soldiers had confident smiles on their faces. They had reason to be confident.
Over the years, Di Qin was able to go from occupying a corner of Guanzhong to now unifying the Central Plains, relying on these steels to build invincible cavalry.
They were confident that as long as their cavalry took action, regardless of whether they were in the North or the South, those Jin people who only knew how to paddle would be invincible and scurry away with their heads in their hands.
